You Need to Read: Baby Dracula

Alright Baby Dracula, we know that you are going to grow up to be hauntingly charming and will potentially terrorize the world with the mere thought of you…but right now you are a baby. And like most youngsters you may want to read some great picture books. Here are some that I am recommending just for you: 


By Lucy Ruth Cummings 
Atheneum Books for Young Readers, 2021. Picture Book.

I know you are a vampire baby…and most babies like to go to the zoo. Here is a book about a vampire family that visits the zoo and all the crazy mischief that happens on that particular trip. 

By Christopher Denise 
Little, Brown and Company, 2022. Picture Book.

Toddler Dracula, I know that you prefer doing things at night. And Knight Owl is no different! He wants to be a knight and protect the kingdom at night. Now, maybe you aren’t so into protecting kingdoms…but you can always learn to like it, right? 

By Scott Rothman 
Illustrated by Pete Oswald 
Random House Children’s Books, 2020. Picture Book.

Baby Drac, you are strong. You have great strength and can often get what you want. Well, here is another story for you. The Underwear Dragon is also quite strong and he often gets what he wants; however, in this story you will learn that maybe, just maybe, being smart and kind is even more important than being strong. 

By Jarrett and Jerome Pumphrey 
Norton Young Readers, 2021. Picture Book.

Here is the thing, one day Baby Dracula, you might want to leave your Transylvanian home. And when that time comes, chances are you might want to travel by boat. So here is a great story about a boat and how that boat changes lives over time. Pay attention. Maybe you will realize not only that boats are a great way to travel, but that your actions can impact all those around you. 

By David LaRochelle 
Illustrated by Mike Wohnoutka 
Candlewick Press, 2021. Informational.

Finally, Baby Dracula, this is my last book suggestion for you. It is all about learning how to apologize. Because, basically, I have a feeling that sometime you might do something that isn’t right or good…and if you don’t do something nice, you should apologize. So here is a book to help you understand how feelings are important and how you need to respect the feelings of others—and apologize if you do something wrong. 

Well, that’s it. Those are the books that I think you should read. I hope you enjoy them Baby Dracula!

Review: The Mixed-Up Owl

The Mixed-Up Owl  Written by Marzena Sowa Illustrated by Joanna Lorno New York : Hippo Park, 2025. Picture Book. When Owl can't sleep at night, he heads off to see if any forest animals can help him understand why, and even more so, how to fix it!  Unfortunately, all the animals Owl runs into at night are asleep and all the animals he meets during the day are too rude or too busy to answer him.  Will Owl give up or will a chance meeting with a grumpy hedgehog provide all the solutions Owl was looking for? The premise of an owl trying to stay awake during the day because all the other animals around him do is very fun. Kids who know that owls are nocturnal will get a kick out of Owl's confusion and be quick to try to tell him what's going on.  Readers who don't know many facts about owls (or nocturnal animals in general) will get a brief introduction to the different ways animals sleep. The illustrations are charming, especially cute Owl and his expressive body langua...
